I was self hosting gitea. It’s great for small projects and all for well over a year…

But then my filesystem got corrupt and I really learned to appreciate not having to deal with physical infrastructure.

I have things backed up and all, but I’m short on time and it’s taken a week for me to find time to pull out the drive, pop it into another machine fsck it, pop it back into the server, see that even though the filesystem is repaired and mountable on my desktop, my Raspi cant boot at all. Kernel panics when trying to mount rootfs :( Then pull the drive back out and reburn a new image, copy home folders, yada yada

It’s a good thing my work doesnt depend on it.
